What about finding two thrashed fibreglass sousaphones with the old Conn standard bore of around 0.730". Arranging the rebuilt valves as 4+2 pistons for giving the same fingerings as a 4+2 B&S F tuba?

You gotta go big.imperialbari wrote:Not riding any high moral horse as I myself have posted cash to German, although in much smaller quantities:
It is illegal to post bank notes of any currency to Germany. If done in a registered letter, it is very likely to be detected. The money will be confiscated by the German state with zero judicial options of getting it back. You will expose yourself to investigations for drugs and now also terror.
I sent the money in unregistered letters, which had a calculated risk of being pilfered by any human link in the postal chain. My letters went through and I got my small eBay wins.

I am committed to the advancement of civil rights, minus the Marxist intimidation and thuggery of BLM.

Laugh as you like!
But then don’t whine here, if you loose your money in a German postal check-up. The registered letters will all be scanned and wrapping the bills in tin foil is guaranteed to draw attention. And you may be as clean as you want in any criminal record, you won’t get your money back.
Tin foil can be sensed by the fingers of the postal workers handling the unregistered mail and hence also draw the attention of ill-willed people. I took pages from the local glossy grocery ad leaflets and wrapped the bills, so that the envelope couldn’t be looked through even with a strong lamp.
